New German motorcycle manufacturer, Das Neue Motorrad is getting ready for what could be some serious competition straight out of Munich. In an extended teaser campaign involving five stages, we will finally get all the details on this new German motorcycle brand on June 15th and we’re excited about a new German brand on the scene that might take its slice of BMW market share.

So far, according to reports, we will see a revolutionary powerplant with a possible electric motor. Statements from Das Neue Motorrad are: “Our engine concept is based on one currently found nowhere in the motorcycle world.” They say it will be a “very efficient combustion platform” with multiple cylinders. We really hope that “the new motorcycle” is one that backs up its claims and rocks the boat of the biking world just ever so slightly….
